I've removed the 1.6gtd from my Caddy. I was having overheating issues, but never cooked it, which I am fairly sure was/is due to cracked cylinder head. I was going to send the head off for inspection/skimming but fancied fitting a 1.9pd. I sourced the engine and gearbox from a 1990 passat. Gearbox is rare I think... o2a 5spd with hydraulic clutch and cable shift and 90mm output flanges so no need for any driveshaft changes from original caddy. Also have the custom made 5spd o2a gearbox mounts... side and rear. Engine has been out for a year and a half and the cylinder head is removed and in bits apart from valves. I feel it would be a shame just to scrap it as it has been a good engine and I'm sure is good for spares. Free for collection from north side of Reading. Can potentially post parts, again free, if you cover the postage. Also hoping to send a van full of stuff back to Scotland in the next 2 weeks.

I drive London to just north of Crediton a lot Reg, next time will be evening of Friday 1st September, I can pick them up for you if Scrimsam doesn't mind meeting me at Reading services or something?

I live in Morchard Bishop (not far from you I think) and it'd save you £50

It's a good offer, but if he sends them via interparcel.com it'll be less than a tenner, £50 will still be a bargain for me - I've a NA mk2 caddy van that needs a kick in the nads to move - the turbo and pump will make an MTDI and therefore about eleventy million bhp.

Anyone after any other parts? Good 5spd gearbox with 90mm output cups... exhaust rear section including silencer... custom gearbox mounts. My location says Angus/Glasgow... but down in Reading... soon to be moving back home
